AB Safety  and  quality  are  two  of  the  central  dimensions  of  health  care.  In  recent  years  it  has  become  easier  to  measure  safety  and  quality,  and  it  is  increasingly  clear  that  performance  in  both  dimensions  could  be  much  better.  The  public  is—with  good  justification—demanding  measurement  and  accountability,  and  payment  for  services  will  increasingly  be  based  on  performance  in  these  areas.  Thus,  physicians  must  learn  about  these  two  domains,  how  they  can  be  improved,  and  the  relative  strengths  and  limitations  of  the  current  ability  to  measure  them.
